Karl, you have no related experience to the problem and your opinion
doesn't help the issue at all. His issue is related to caching, not a
relative opinion of fast. It might be something else, but the "It
works for me" attitude isn't helping.

Dick, try and make sure in chromium that "enable browser pre-fetching
"is enabled. It might be worded differently, it's in the under the
hood tab. I'll poke around for more ideas.
